Forms are derived from spreadsheets. One certainly can make forms with Microsoft Office: Excel, or a similar type of software. And, one can make surveys that can be presented with a web interface using Microsoft Office: Access (their less well known database component to business versions of Office). However, perhaps it was Google's place to make the "mashup" of a sorts to combine the form function with email/web page presentation in a very easy manner.
A general introduction to Forms comes with this video video, but you may want also to take a look at the screencasts on your iPad, using iPod (lower right corner of the screen) and going to iTunes U. Please consider:
Google Tools - "Creating Forms" and "Using Forms"
Google Apps for Educators - "Module 5 Forms"

Be SURE to take a careful look at "How to Create Self-Grading Quizzes Using Google Forms" (http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cjXeqwnDe) to know how I prepared your quizzes for the CHIP track in this class. Along these same lines there are other "takes" on this idea:

Performance Record
Take a look at one or more of the tutorials, and be sure to follow at least one link about self scoring quizzes, tests or surveys. Put together a brief form and share it with your lab partner to see how it works, including the self scoring.
Then, please comment on the ease of use for forms, and the self scoring features for forms.
